FAQ
Assisted Living Facility Licensing questions
Do I need a CON?
Some states (FL, GA, NC) require Certificate of Need for ALF expansion. We screen state-by-state.
Administrator license required?
Yes in most states. Some accept RN with experience; many require dedicated ALF administrator certification.
Memory care wing — special?
Yes — dementia-specific staff training, secured units, and often a separate license endorsement.
Medicaid waiver enrollment?
Each state's HCBS waiver is different. Plan 6–12 months for enrollment after licensure.
